This was my first job (unless you count a weekly I stayed at for three months before getting this) and it was a great place to cut my teeth and do everything in a great area for HS sports. It's cheap to live there, and Jason is a great guy to work with. Highly recommend this for a young person.

I'm a recently laid off sportswriter vet available for freelance opportunities in Dallas-Fort Worth. I've covered several Big 12 Media Days, which are coming up, and just about anything else you can imagine. If you have anything you need covered, feel free to contact me: aboedeker(at)gmail.com...

Surely this job would be remote, right? They wouldn't expect you to be in their NY office would they?

It's getting worse. http://www.dentonrc.com/local-news/local-news-headlines/20140521-bogomol-told-agents-he-had-contact-with-denton-high-students.ece

Well, he was pretty well-known. He's basically a fixture in the Star-Telegram. Might as well have been a full-timer. His Twitter bio even says "Star-Telegram sports reporter." Bet they love that. He's done stuff for us plenty of times. Just saw the guy at a Rangers game last week with his wife...

He also went to OSU, if I'm correct. Do you think they'd put that recent of an OKState grad on the OKState beat? Just something to think about... Maybe not?

$600-$800? heck, you wish. Try about $1100.

As someone who's covered games with these guys before and has seen their work, it's very legit. If I wasn't settled with a house and a newborn, I'd consider it. Well, and if it wasn't in Tyler, but that's a personal choice. I talked with one of their guys at a game last year when this had first...

Need anything? I can help. Let me know. I'm already credentialed and all, so you don't have to worry about that. Just shoot me a PM if you need anything.

Just for comparison's sake, I have a side gig that pays $15/article (some as few as 250 words) for a reputable site (a Big 3 television network) and I do 3/day, which takes me about 45 minutes total every morning. Just sayin'.

Good lord, that's awesome. What was the headline?

Question: This would probably be a job where you would at least have to have experience covering a major college, right? Just trying to be realistic and deciding if it'd be a waste of time to apply for this if all you've ever done is cover high schools.

The Denton Record-Chronicle is looking for stringing help to cover HS football games on Friday nights. If you have experience taking stats and writing on deadline, and you're interested in covering some quality teams, e-mail Larry McBride at lmcbride@dentonrc.com.

Yes, it was Todd Jorgenson. He is a good guy.

So, the Denton Record-Chronicle (Texas) has laid off their sports editor as one of four cuts last week. He won't be replaced, and the section is moving to a universal desk with all of the news side copy desk folks supposedly going to handle layout and stuff. I'm just wondering what everyone...
